Sha La La

Martinique, French West Indies - September 20, 1994
♫ Sha la la la la la la, jamais mon amour ne finira. Sha la la la la la la la. Oh, yeah! Il m’a dit les mots que j’attendais et maintenant tout est bien changé. Voilà pourquoi j’ai le cœur en joie, il a dit que jamais ça n’finira. Sha la la la la la la, jamais mon amour ne finira. Sha la la la la la la la la. Il m’a dit que ça durera et tant pis pour qui n’y croit pas. Non ce n’est pas l’amour d’un jour, il a juré de m’aimer toujours mais oui ! Sha la la la la la la, jamais mon amour ne finira. Sha la la la la la la la la. Sha la la, chantez avec moi, sha la la, j’ai tant de joie. Je veux la partager, ça ne finira jamais. Sha la la la la la la, jamais mon amour ne finira. Sha la la la la la la la. ♫ Sha La La by Sylvie Vartan was my favorite song when I was 8 years old. I lived in Bois-Colombes back then, a city that is on the outskirts of Paris and only 5 miles away from the world’s most beautiful city! Sha La La was originally recorded in English by the Shirelles back in 1964. Sylvie Vartan recorded a French version soon after that, and she was only 19 years old at the time! I would go to my neighbor’s apartment almost every day to listen to the record of Sha La La, as well as many of Sylvie Vartan’s other big hits. Sha La La is such a cute love song and I still like it a lot to this very day. I saw Sylvie Vartan live in concert at the Palais des Congrès in Paris on February 9, 2008 and to my delight, she sang Sha La La once more! I even videotaped her that day and my videos can be seen on YouTube and on a few other websites, too.This photo was taken during my third time at the Club Med at Buccaneer’s Creek in Martinique. I met this cute French blonde girl who flew all the way from the south of France to spend her vacation here. And of course, I had some very interesting conversations with her in French, which happens to be my favorite language. French women are zee best!
